In 2020, Danielle Schoeman, a renowned South African Master Distiller, began trialing various alcohol-free distilled spirits in her Doña craft distillery. Foraging botanicals from her family farm in the Cape she experimented with various blends until eventually discovering the perfect recipe. Using nine different botanicals (some of which are uniquely indigenous to the Western Cape) she created Mahala Botanical – a flavoursome, premium, non-alcoholic spirit.
Doña (which means “woman of rank”) are passionate about the whole process and that is why they do everything, from sourcing local raw material to fermenting, distilling, bottling and labelling for every product that leaves their distillery.
Mahala means ‘Free’ in Zulu. Mahala Botanical is a triple distilled Non-Alcoholic Spirit free from sugar, alcohol, colourants and artificial flavour.
Mahala is made in South Africa, using nine hand-sourced botanicals that are infused under vacuum to extract the flavour. Mahala own the entire process from foraging the botanicals to distilling in their custom-built vacuum stills. Every bottle is hand labelled in their Cape Town based craft distillery.

Launched in 2023 Amber has the same 9 hand-sourced botanicals as Mahala (orginal) with the addition of extracts of oak, smoke and chilli which give it a deliciously warming smoky flavour.
